Jade Yumang Artist Talk

Join artist Jade Yumang for an informative conversation about their practice. Working primarily with textiles and fibres, Yumang creates three-dimensional, site-specific, and performative works that examine how queer optics permeate into a culture, giving way to new forms of being and expression. Through their artistic research, they seek flickers of resistence, and expressions of love, kinship, joy, and queer desire embedded in history and myth, in scandals and legal trials, and in mainstream and pornographic film tropes. Employing a range of meticulous and repetitive handcrafting techniques, Yumang works in series, stitch by stitch and thread by thread, to locate and describe these moments, where the body resists or submits to material, formal, or structural constraint.
